hmmm... considering mine is the only grand prix i've been in... all of them. And you'll be fine! i saw in the chat box you said the garden hose is gone lol. must be a relief!

turbo car will be sweet though... think you'll need a hand with anything? I'd love to be a part of that! haha

I'm not worried about getting my feelings hurt! it'll just motivate me to spend more money haha. say i have a question on running e-85 by only putting in 42.5 injectors... will i only be able to run e85 or can i switch between that and 91?

I didn't mean the E85 car hurting your feelings haha, I meant some new Camaro and 5.0 owners from the "tintmasters" crowd back at home LOL!!

Yeah i should prolly do some of my own research on that haha. I want my car to be that quick! and yeah i'll have to swing by. maybe even give you a hand if there's beer haha

Just saw you guys were talking about a lower subframe mount. Might be worthwhile looking at the H/G/C body cars for options. All of them had better mounting than the W body's. I say that without sarcasm (since I usually am.. lol).

Let's look at a 96-99 Bonneville mount, I modified it to clear a set of headers and removed a little strut that originally comes on it.


2000 Bonneville mount:


My modified one: These bolt to the trans and an engine stud. Very similar to the one Tengis was making


2000 Bonneville mount setup


I remember PontiacJeff also using the older model 87-91 front right mount too


And then googling you bump into stuff like this

hmmm there's another idea. how well did that work out for you bill? how were the vibrations and what not?

i like the orange blocks mount location. wonder if it would work there and would clear any hoses from the compressor.

yeah not a bad idea either. Im not sure how it would clear everything. ill try to look at that today or tomorrow

I like how the orange block is a V8 and obviously not a 3800.. lol But if you can put the mount there then its all the same I guess ;-)

sigh* that went right over my head lol. dangit bill lol

I never had a bit of vibration

Ok guys I have gathered what seems to me to be every part that i need. However, I don't trust myself. If you guys could read through it quick and let me know if you see anything missing that would be awesome.

Cylinder heads
head bolts
head gaskets
rocker bolts
VC gaskets
harmonic balancer
tensioner for SC
coil pack bracket
LIM
LIM gaskets
Fuel rail
Fuel injectors
gen 3 M90
SC gaskets
SC belt
throttle body
TB gasket
colder Tstat
map sensor with the correct plug
zzp stainless headers to ensure flow and reduce risk of KR
Valve covers
SC oil and plug
SC coupler
crank bolt
alum. coolant elbows
Injector orings
Aeroforce to run a case learn
and the #9 pulley
just assume everything i listed came from an L-67, which everything did come from haha. I appreciate any insight.

I would get head studs instead of bolts and get the reusable rocker bolts, just in case.

i have reusable rocker bolts. why do you recommend head studs?
